In line with our #RoadToGoodHealth journey (peppered with weekly runs and a healthy diet); I would like to take this time to emphasize the need for a good recovery regimen. Aside from resting and eating the designated post-workout food, I believe getting massages or at least foot spas are a must for any runner. You can choose to have a session after every run or once a month, it's really up to you; but nothing comes close to the feeling of relief after having your tight and overworked muscles kneaded by professionals especially after hitting your PR (personal best).
For this particular massage recovery session, we decided to try the Aramesh Spa & Wellness. Tagged as the 1st one to offer Persian massage in the Philippines and ranking top 1 in TripAdvisor, these were reasons enough for us to try them out.
Notice the Fashion Smile Dental Clinic signage? Yeah, we did too. It is a bit unconventional and unnerving to see a spa place right beside a dental clinic.
But they do their best in alleviating your apprehensions by showcasing their awards and trophies all lined up in a row for all to see.
To fully immerse your sense to the relaxation to come, they serve you this hot delicious tea served in a pot and cup adorned with intricate details. Then they give you a questionnaire wherein you check your choice of either soft or hard massage and which part of the body you wish your therapist concentrates on. This is an efficient way to communicate your massage expectations without the need of speaking later on during the actual session; they want you to fully enjoy the service in tranquil silence.
The Persian theme continued all throughout the place. Lights were dimmed as well to further relax your senses.
Finally, they escort you to your bed (with curtains for dividers). Unlike other spa places, here at Aramesh Spa and Wellness they don't provide shorts or a change of clothing for the massage so we suggest you come dressed accordingly.
Hubby went for the Aramesh Signature Massage (Php 1250) since this was the closest they have to a deep tissue one. They let you choose from two kinds of massage oil; he went with the citrus-y scent. Before they start, they clean your feet with wet towels for hygienic purposes.
And now you're ready for 90 minutes of kneading away the tension from your body.
They end your massage session with another cup of their delicious tea.
Aramesh Spa and Wellness definitely promises a place of sanctuary; the therapists were all professional and well-trained that you won't hear unnecessary noise that is quite present in other spa places. Their main focus is to take away the knots from your body and to have you leave feeling refreshed.
They do have some low points though; such as cleaning of the feet before the massage. It would've been better if they wash it rather than just wiping it with wet towels alone. This won't be a big adjustment for them since they offer foot spas already; the wash basins they use there can be used for washing the feet.
Also it would be best if they finish up all the minutes of the session as promised; a 10-minute deficit for 1250 pesos massage is already a lot (it comes down to 200 pesos).
